Another bad experience

[fpb]

Why in God's name did I ever place my essay on JKR's religion on FA? Most of the responses I received have been appalling: those who did not insist that Christianity meant anything they wanted it to mean simply imagined that I was criticizing JKR for not holding it, on the supposition - which I explicitly denied dozens of times - that you cannot be a decent person without being Christian. God Almighty, the whole damned essay begins with me denying that Christian is a term of moral approval! Do these idiots even know how to read, or do they just play with letters like babies or monkeys?

Why are you so irritable? Where have I been rude "over a small point like this"? And why was it necessary to answer a small remark with a rehashing of the whole polemic which you knew was not going anywhere?

I am not sure what I said to make you believe I was irritated. This comment so astonishes me, that now I must draw back from pursuing this conversation further. Misunderstanding deceive wiser heads than mine. I now see that what I thought were cowardly sneers and insults coming from you, had some other meaning, or no meaning at all.

Rather than upset you further, I will happily admit the entire fault is mine, and ask your apology. Let us not let a small thing come between us.
